UTENSIL FOR COOKING RANGES.

'- Application filed. November 8, 1928.

This' inifention relates to improvements in cooking' utensil supports ol.Z the type adapted to preserve and prevent the radiation ot heat from the eas burner upon which the device is ci'i'iploycd.

The primary object ot this invention is to provide` a` device ol. the above mentioned character which may be ennliloyed on gz s or cook-- ing.;` stoves, whereljiy the cooking' utensil may be more (prickly and el'liciently heated.

Another object of this invention, is to provide a device Ytor preserving and conserving heat which comprises conuiiaratively 'few parts and. which may be used upon a gras or cooking' :stove without altering the construction oit the same.

A still further object oit the inventitnil1 is to provide a device ot the above mentioned character which is adapted to lie inthe saine plane as the top ot the cooking stove and Wh ich is adapted to be provided with a heat conservine' coil lwhich is also in the saine plane as the utensil supporting;v device.

A. still 'l'urther object oi the inventiom is to provide a device of the above mentioned character which is simple in eonstriletion, inexpeniliive, strong and durable and further Well adapted 'tor the purposes 'tor which it designaled.

(")thcr objects and advantages of this invention 'will become apparent during the c4. irse of the 'Following description, forming; a. part ot the specification and which like ret eronce nianerals are employed to designate like parts thrmurhout the same and iu rvhiclin llliguro l is a plan View showing' one ot the coils inclinlcd in ay single utensil. support;

cooking utensil support showing the 'form of heat conservingcoil inserted Which is illus-r trated. in Figure 5.

Heretofore, it has been common practice `to employ heat conserving coils for or cooking` stoves supported'above the burner ot the stove by an elevating` attachment which is provided tor spacing the heat conserving;` coil so tar 'troni the heat burner that the heat conserving` coil. does not per't'orm its intended tunetion. such. as becoming' red hot to act in a manner or to radiate the heat therefrom to the cooking utensil.

Such practice is overcome by providing the heat conserving Coil Wit-h. means whereby the saine may be placed directly over the burner and. in close relation thereto for receivingthe liull benefit for which the device is intended.

It is lfurtlier proposed to form the heat conservingl coil of a flat piece of material coiled in such a manner as to make the operation of the device more e'lilcient and further prevent the radi ation and loss of heat from the burner.

For the purpose of illustration, attention is directedV to the drawings, wherein is shown a cooking utensil support 8 having' a pair of downwardly projecting flanges 9 termed on opposite sid-es thereof. A piece ot wire material lO may pass through openings in the ends et the flanges and have its ends ll, and l2 twirted together at 1,3 to torni a suitable handle for a` graspine` device,

r,lhe heat conserving coil 14; is preferably termed oit a flat strip of material and is coiled in a similar manner to a clock spring'. '.lhe heat conserving' coil lll is provided With an outwardly turned out-er end l5 which is adapted to be Welded or otherwise secured in place in the opening' 16 in the cooking utensil support 8 as is shown in the Figures l, and 3.

The modified. torni ot heat conserving' coil shown in VFigure 5 is designated by the roter ence character i6 and is spirally `wound trom its central. or inner end. 1.7 outwardly to its outer end in which is provided With an otl'g'sct portion 1S). The ol'liset portion i9 may be embedded in the cooking` utensil support S iu place o the tlat type designated by the re'l"- erence character.' lei-. rl`he manne' ot assent bling the device shown in Figs. 5, G and 7 is similarto the construction shown in the other 'lie drawing but the obeltiiciencje is aecort .e

The cooking utensil support 8 is provided With side flanges 9 and a Wire l0 is passed through openings in the ends of the flange 9 similar to Wires l() shown in the Figures l, 2 and 3. The flanges 9 and 9 of the cooking utensil support are provided for spacing the cooking utensil supports 8 and 8 from the stove or cooking burner upon Which the device is adapted to be used.

T he cooking utensil support 8 may be placed over the burners on the conventional form of cooking stove so that the openings in which the coils are placed are directly above the burner so that the heat therefrom may be conducted to the heat conserving coils 14 and 16. The operator may then place a cooking utensil over the conserving coil 14 after having` turned on the O'as and ignited the same for the purpose of cooking or boiling food or articles. The support may be of a size completely to cover the `stove top and afford Warming areas for vessels placed thereon laterally of the coils.

In view of the intense heat absorbed by the coils from the burners, liquids overflowing from vessels -on the support will be immediately vapo 1ized upon coming into contact With the coils and prevent such liquids from flowing onto the burners and thereby eliminating damage to the burners.

l claim l. A cooking utensil support for stoves including a flat support having an opening therein, and a heat conserving coil mounted in the opening of the flat support.

2. A heat conserver' for stoves, a flat support adapted to be positioned on a stove or cooking device 'and having an opening, and a spiral coil having all of its convolutions in the saine plane mounted in the opening.

3. A cooking utensil support for stoves including a flat support having flanged ends, and having openings therein and a heat conserving coil mounted in the opening of the flat support.

Ll. A cooking utensil support for stoves, a flat support having openings therein, flanges formed `on opposite ends of the flat support for supporting the fiat support above the surface of the cooking stove, and a heat conserving coil mounted in the opening ot.' the flat support, said heat conserving coil having all of its convolutions in the saine. general plane.

5. A cooking utensil support for stoves including a support having a plane surface, flanges formed at opposite ends of the plane surface, a Wire adapted to pass through openings in the ends of the flanges and across one of the flanges to the intermediate portion thereof and said Wire having its ends twisted to forni a handle or the like.

6. A cooking utensil support for stoves including a plane surface having openings therein, flanges formed at opposite ends of the plane surface, a Wire adapted to pass through openings in the ends of the flange portions, and said wire having its ends twisted together' to form a handle for the cooking utensil support and a flat coil lying` in the finie plane as the plane surface and in the openings therein.

7. A cooking utensil support for stoves, including a plane surface, having openings therein, flanges formed at opposite ends of the plane support, a piece of Wire having its ends threaded through openings in the flanges at the end thereof, .said piece of Wire having its ends twisted together to forni a handle for the. cooking utensil support and a strip of spiralli7 Wound metal having its outer end connected to the periphery of the openings in the plane surface support and the inner end thereof adapted to be free.

8. A cooking utensil .support for stoves, a flat plane surface having openings therein, flan-ges forn'ied at opposite ends of the plane surface, a Wire adapted to be threaded through openings in the ends of the flanges, said Wire also having its ends twisted together te form a handle for the cooking utensil support and a spirally Wound strip of flat material having an extension at the outer end thereof which is adapted to be secured in the periphery of the opening in the plane surface support.

In testimony whereof l affix niv signature.
